FUEL SYSTEM

WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
- Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.

The fuel system consists of:
- a mechanical returnless fuel system.
- the standard fuel tank.
- a fuel tank filler pipe assembly which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by installing a new filler pipe assembly.
- a high-temperature composite shield on the right side of the fuel tank to protect the fuel tank from the exhaust system.
- a fuel tank filler pipe whose diameter permits only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the fuel tank.
- a 1/4 turn fuel tank filler cap.
- a fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors.
- fuel tubes.
- fuel pressure sensor.
- a top mount, bottom sense fuel delivery module containing:
- the electric fuel pump which provides pressurized fuel to the engine.
- the fuel level sensor.
- an tank mounted fuel filter with a return port to the tank.
- a check valve which maintains system pressure after the pump is shut off.

The fuel pump is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM). Electrical power to the pump is provided through the inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch located in the jack access panel on the RH side interior rear quarter trim panel.
